About Me:

I cover cops and courts for The Flint Journal. I am a graduate of Central Michigan University, a Clio native and have worked at daily papers in Michigan and Wyoming. Follow me on Twitter @GaryRidley or give me a call at 810-280-9516.

We have been told that he is on a 180-day minimum suspension currently and that he has been kicked out of class at least 10 times in the past. However, finding things like grades and other educational specifics can pose a problem due to confidentiality laws in Michigan schools.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the dogs afterward. Some of them (especially the "bait dog") seemed to be in very bad condition.

I can also see where some people would be wary of adopting a dog that was recovered from a suspected dog fight (even though these animals seemed to be very calm as they sat in the animal control truck.) Would you be willing to adopt an animal that went through a situation like this?

You're correct. The original story was updated the day after it was originally posted. I was told by the prosecutor that the case was delayed. I was unable to attend this case because I was in another courtroom for another case and I relied on info provided to me by the prosecutor. The information that was provided to us was incorrect. Once we realized there was an error, it was corrected.

Not bad. We actually started up a "From the Comments" post where we openly challenge our readers to come up with the best pun. It might take a bit, however, to top user LevelKevin. Check it out here ...

That's a good question on the other detergents. Since this is a new crime happening in our area, most of our law enforcement personnel were unable to speak definitively on the logic behind this. However, from what I have read from other sources, Tide is being targeted due to his name recognition.

I hope to speak with some retail organizations and Procter & Gamble on this issue to try and help clear it up a little bit.
